I have several series mode surge protectors. They are big, heavy and
more expensive but have none of the limitations of MOV sacrificial shunt
devices.
I would get rid of any older MOV-based surge protection devices that are
lying around. They have been known to burn. The newer ones are suppose
I know personally (not FOF) of one death due to a hanging RF cable, in
this case a cb antenna. Don't just leave the lead to your antenna
hanging. I use very inexpensive switches from epay that have a grounded
off.
MOV devices only absorb a finite, unpredictable, number of hits. In

Hi Group:
Well, now and then I'm disappointed that I don't have a permanent shack.
However, after hearing some of those lightning stories there's certainly an
additional plus side to being a portable-only QRP operator. All my gear is
disconnected from the AC mains, don't have any antenna
Hi guys:
Lesson learned! I should not be attempting remote ops to my station on
Maryland's Eastern Shore during the summer months. We get lightning
strikes, and I got creamed a couple weeks ago. Everything was hooked up,
and I am now having to replace my Orion 2800 rotor, and repair or replace
Don,
Really sorry to hear that. I empathize. We lost two major appliances late June
when the Derecho hit Virginia with 75 mph winds and a lightning show like I

That is a bummer, Don. Lightning can make its way throughout the house by
various evil means. A few years ago a strike hit a tree across the street,

I am currently "computer handicapped" because of a nearby lightning
strike last evening.
I think I have accessed the damage, but there may be more to be revealed
once more devices come on-line.
It seems the damage propagated via the wired Ethernet connections - I

Ron,
Proof positive that lightning can and will do 'strange stuff' one never
knows about its behavior. It is always a good thing to exercize caution
when the sky 'rumbles'.
I just repaired a K2 (no KPA100) for a fellow that was not connected to an
antenna or powered on when lightning hit nearby
Hi
Yesterday a thunderstorm ran through here, and while I didn't think it
was anywhere too close, the SWR bridge diodes in the KPA100 thought otherwise.
A few hours after the storm, I fired the K2/100 up and it was receiving
fine, but my troubles started when I tried to tune up. I don't reca
